i'm having no luck setting up my incredible to check my verizon email. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm using the same settings i use in thunderbird

Incoming.verizon.net port 110

outgoing.verizon.net port 25

It simply does not get the email. ever .

Here are the steps for adding a email account. HTH!

From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
Touch Mail.
Touch Other (POP3/IMAP).
Enter the POP email address and password.
Touch the option.
If Manual setup was selected or if the automatic setup fails, continue to step 4.
If Next was selected and successful, skip to step 13.

Ok, as soon as I try to use incoming.yahoo.verizon.net it no longer accepts my username/pw combo (both which I know are correct because I use them every day). I get no password error when I have incoming.verizon.net as my server which is what I have in thunderbird, and where I do get email correctly using that server. It's only on the incredible where i am having issues.

So, why won't it accept my username/pw ? (i have tried my actual user name vz***** name and my alias name)
